First lady Michelle Obama spent part of her 47th birthday surrounded by her family and the students of Stuart Hobson Middle School in Washington, D.C.

"All right let's get to work. This is embarrassing."

The "work" was a service project organized by the Greater DC Cares' Mentoring Matters Initiative in honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday. The first family joined students and mentors to paint murals around Hobson Middle School, including images of Dr. King, quotes from Maya Angelou, fruits and vegetables in the cafeteria (to encourage healthy eating) and college logos in classrooms.
